Silent film segments created by William L. Finley. Includes various scenes (trims and out-takes) on board a ship and in Arizona and New Mexico, notably footage of cactus, desert wildlife and birds. Includes title panels "Potatoes may be all right, but crabs caught that very morning on the beach are better"; "Queer Creatures of the Cactus Country by William L. Finley and Arthur N. Pack of Nature Magazine"; "The Trail of the Rainbow by Arthur N. Pack and Eleanor Pack"; "On the plateau above the valley of the Chama River, New Mexico"; "We push on by way of lovely Mesa Verde, the home of forgotten races of mankind"; and "Repeated cloudbursts bring more difficulties."
The film segments were spliced together in 2004.
